For fans of GLADIATOR and SPARTACUS!
Before Rome was an empire, it was a city and a people born from legend. The Roman kings began a legacy of triumph and conquest that would last for centuries. However, as they grew in power, the priests of the city realized the danger of their tyranny. Members of the secretive Cult of Angerona dedicated their lives to serve as the city's protectors. Men and women from the underbelly of Roman society were enlisted to be their agents. The best of them formed an elite team that could go where soldiers could not and citizens dared not. These Infamia were the very people that society had turned its back on: actors, gladiators, prostitutes, and gamblers. They would operate, unseen and unthanked, to fend off the forces which threatened Rome. The first Infamia predate the Republic. With each new threat, a team emerges from the shadows to do what the great and the good cannot.
THIS ISSUE: "The Two Caesars" -- Following the assassination of Julius Caesar the Infamia were called together to protect the city as it descended into chaos. A civil war seemed inevitable but a new player has presented himself. Caesar's nephew Octavian has secretly returned to the city and is looking to insert himself into the fray. The Infamia have developed a plan to use Octavian to turn people against Caesar's assassins, led by Brutus and Cassius. They will need to prevent them from taking control of the city while also taking support from Marc Antony who views himself as Caesar's natural successor. The team is unsure of itself and the priest of Angerona who has called them together. If they don't learn to trust each other quickly the mission, and their lives, are forfeit.
